Does anyone here disagree with this statement?
I agree with this statement in principle. In practice I am a person with opinions on certain political issues. I never make a point to patronize a business just on the basis of their stated views on a subject being compatible with mine, but I will refuse to do business with a company who supports something I am against, unless I have no practical choice in doing so. I like Chick-fil-A's food, but if they are donating money to Focus on the Family and Exodus International, they will never donate another penny which comes from me.
I think it is probably best that a company not involve itself in politics of any kind, for any reason, including making donations to candidates or politically-driven causes.
